@mastamike911, the Arlo Q is not currently supported by the underlying library (PyArlo). This has been a request by several users, but I’m not sure if any of the devs who have worked on it have a Q. It’s a bit more difficult to implement without an actual device to test because we have to reverse engineering the API by tracing the web calls made to/from the devices. Almost all of the calls in the current library reference a base station, which the Q does not have.
@joch, not at this time. That would be a great feature, though! I know SmartThings implements this somehow. When I had my Arlo cameras connected to HASS via the SmartThings MQTT bridge, each camera was published to MQTT as a sensor with motion. The trick is capturing how that’s done.
@jwillaz Interesting. I’m pretty sure that you can see when a camera is triggered in the Arlo UI, so there’s possibly a way. Hopefully, I’ll have some time this weekend to look into it some more.
@joch, looks like this library implements a SubscribeToMotionEvents function - good place to start: https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo/blob/master/Arlo.py

I’m thinking of getting the Arlo Pro security cameras. Can anyone give me a quick answers if it integrates with Home Assistant? If not, I’d like to know if Nest is compatible.
Yes, they do.
Arlo integration is now available in HA, so closing this thread. Please open a new thread for specific queries or report bugs in the main repo.
